I was the reporter who asked this question after listening to Rep. Greene downplay the impact of COVID-19 on young people & those who aren't obese. I asked if she feels any responsibility to people in Georgia to protect them. She said the responsibility is their own.
Reporter: There are children, skinny people who have died of the coronavirus…

Dear media ... Most Black people are just as concerned about policing as they are about violence in majority-Black neighborhoods. And the root cause of both is structural racism. That’s what you should be exploring today.
